My gym has a sign (in about 14 point font size)
at the exit door stating "All members must carry a towel at all times." They also have a sanitizer/paper towel station that has probably never needed refilling in the year I've been there.
I've mentioned the problem at least three times to every staff member there, and always get the same smile and, "We'll get right on that, sir." response. Truth is, the staff there prefers socializing more than actually doing their jobs. I like to play a game with them on my way out, offering them a dollar for every member with a towel in the gym, if they give me five dollars for ever member without one. So far I've never had one take me up on it - so they know the problem exists.
But hey - it's halfway between work and home, and only $19/month, so I decided to cover my own ass by carrying a chlorinated water bottle, and save my resources for more important battles that are sure to come my way in life.
Oh - and I always wear long pants - never shorts, to cut down on the area of my body exposed to bacteria, viruses, and general cooties.
Hmmmmm . . is it just me, or am I starting to sound like Howard Hughes?
